WINDOW-SHADE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,702, dated December 22, 1903- Application filed June 9,1902. Renewed May 29, 1903. Serial No. 159,374. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL HARRINGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Window-Shade drawings, forming a part thereof, in which' Figure 1 is a'perspective of one of my improved brackets. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof.

Like numerals of reference designate like parts in the different views of the drawings.

The numeral 1 designates a curved bracket having oppositely-extending arms 2, which are apertured at 2 to accommodate screws for securing the arms to a window-frame. Rigidly secured to the bracket 1 and extending transversely thereof is a cylinder 3, having heads 4 and 5 and being traversed by a longitudinally-extending slot 6. The head 4 is formed integral with the body of the cylinder3; but the head 5 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder and bears a rim 7, which engages the edge thereof and is adapted to serve as a thumb-screw. A screw 8 connects the heads 4: and 5. It is free to turn in the head 4, but is rigidly mounted in the head 5 and rotates with unison therewith. The screw 8 is held againstwithdrawal from the head 4 by means of a head 4 which is battered or riveted on the screw after it is inserted in the aperture in the head. -A bracketarm 9 extends up through the slot 6 and has an aperture 10 therein, which is ngaged by the screw 8. The upper end of t e arm 9 is *the apertures 2".

then adjusted by operating the heads 5 to responding arm 9 on the other will be aperturedat itslupper end instead of slotted.

In using my brackets they are first rigidly secured to the window-frame by screws fitting The bracket-arms 9 are obtain the proper interval between them, so that the spindles 12 will engage them. By this device the necessity of resetting the brackets is avoided;

I do not wish to be limited as to details of construction, as these may be modified in many particulars without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a shade-bracket, the combination of a cylindrical body having a longitudinallyextending slot therein,- means for securing said body to a window-frame, a head rotatably mounted on said body and bearing a screw journaled in the other head of said body, a bracket-arm extending through said slot and mounted on said screw to be operated by revolving said rotatable head, substantially as described.

2. In a shade-bracket, the combination of a cylindrical body having a head formed integral therewith and slotted throughout its length, a head rotatably mounted on said body, a screw journaled in said integral head, a rotatable head rigidly secured to said screw, a bracket-arm engaged by said screw and extending through said slot, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

. DANIEL HARRINGTON.
